Illustrious names on novice cup

By

BOB SCHUMACHER

Some illustrious names have been engraved on the Phoenix Cup for novice grevhounds in recent times and' it will be interesting to follow the future fortunes of the winner of the feature 1 event at the Christchurch club’s equalisator meeting at Queen Elizabeth II Park on. Saturday afternoon. . The winners in 1973 and 1974, Red Baron and Sally] Havoc, continued with their ! progress to win the New Zealand championship, lop Club, which won in 19/o.i became a consistent open class winner and last year's winner. Lady Waddenn. was a decidelv useful open bitch, finishing second to Smoky Hobbs in the Harding Cup. There is no dominating

favourite for the 540 m final in what is a very open field. All runners have shown to advantage this year, but none has made a consistent impression. The event has often fallen to a young greyhound work-

ing its way through the classes and again the “Baby” of the field might be first past the post. Noble Surrender, only one month out of puppy class, is still improving and the Noble Ben - i Apache II bitch has drawn favourably in box two.
